Solar Consultancy

Consultancy Services

At AL DHAW, our consultancy services guide your solar project from initial feasibility through to final regulatory clearance and on-site execution – a complete, expert-led path so every stage of your project is technically sound, compliant, and delivered as designed.

Solar PV Feasibility Studies

Before you commit capital, know exactly what your solar investment will return. Our feasibility studies assess site suitability, energy yield, shading analysis, grid connection requirements, and financial payback – giving you a clear, data-backed go-no-go decision.

  • Site assessment and solar resource analysis
  • Technical and financial viability report
  • ROI and payback period projections
  • Regulatory and grid-connection compliance check

Design Review

Already have a solar design in hand? Our engineers independently review it for technical accuracy, code compliance, and performance optimization before you invest in execution – catching costly errors before they reach the field.

  • Independent technical design verification
  • Compliance check against Omani standards (Nama and APSR requirements)
  • Performance and efficiency optimization recommendations
  • Detailed review report with corrective actions

Supervision

Our certified engineers oversee installation on-site to make sure the finished system matches the approved design – protecting your investment through every phase of construction.

  • On-site quality assurance during installation
  • Compliance monitoring against approved design
  • Snag list and defect tracking
  • Final commissioning sign-off

Approvals and Regulatory Clearances

Navigating Oman regulatory landscape can be one of the biggest bottlenecks in a solar project. We handle the full approval process on your behalf – coordinating with all relevant authorities so your project moves forward without delays.

  • Authority for Public Services Regulation (APSR) and grid-connection approvals
  • Civil Defence approvals
  • Municipality permits
  • Utility (grid connection) approvals
  • Coordination with other relevant government and regulatory entities as required

RFQ and Tender Preparation

Going to tender for a solar project? We prepare professional RFQ and tender documents that attract qualified bidders and ensure you get competitive, compliant proposals – saving you time and reducing procurement risk.

  • Drafting technical RFQ documents with equipment specifications, warranty requirements, SLA terms, and acceptance criteria
  • Bid evaluation support including technical scoring, BOQ review, and compliance verification
  • Bid negotiation support to secure the best terms
  • Complete tender documentation covering both technical and commercial requirements, aligned with Nama and APSR requirements
  • Full tender management from issuance through to award recommendation

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a solar consultant do in Oman?

A solar consultant checks if your project makes sense, designs the system, prepares the approvals with Nama and APSR, and supervises the installer so the system is built as designed.

Do I need a DCRP-certified consultant?

Grid-connected systems in Oman must be designed and submitted by a DCRP-registered company. AL-DHAW is DCRP S2 certified.

How long does a feasibility study take?

Usually one to two weeks after the site visit and receiving 12 months of electricity bills.

Can you review a design from another company?

Yes. We review the design against Omani standards and Nama rules, and give you a report with corrections before you build.
